Russia just test launched a new intercontinental missile even though they've already planted bombs, missiles, and artillery in Ukraine in attempt to weaken Ukraine's defense. Putin said the new missile "“will force all who are trying to threaten our country in the heat of frenzied, aggressive rhetoric to think twice,” which was said in remarks to the U.S and other countries who are sending aid over in Ukraine to help. They say that the missile is not ready for deployment and the United States has commented saying that they're not surprised of this new found missile launch. In attempts to make Ukraine look like the bad guys, Putin is saying that Ukraine is committing genocide against Russia which is why they are putting forth their military. It is noted that 5 million people have fled Ukraine and 7 million fled or been forced removal from their homes but still remain in Ukraine. NATO is spending way more money on military than ever before and they are way more united due to this war. Ukraine has tried making deals with Russia even to just help women and children flee but all attempts have fallen through.
